Terrible Suffering in western Kansas
From Cold and Hunger.
KANSAS CITY, Dec. 21.-The Times
has telegraphic advices which indicate
that there is terrible suffering In the
Western part Of Kansas. Four people
are reported dead in CLARK county from
the cold, while near Dighton,
Kan, woman and her two
children are known to have persisted.
There is great suffering in that section Of
the state owing to the scarcity of coal.
The suffering is augmented by the want
OF food; that is as scarce as fuel Many Of
the inhabitants are settlers who located
claims last summer and who are depend
emit on what the railroads bring In. The
railroads are trying to do all In their
power to relieve the distress, but they
are handicapped by a scarcity Of cars.
They have not enough to supply the urg-
emit demand for food and fuel and wide
spread distress is inevitable unless the
weather speedily moderates

A CAVE OF DEATH,
The Mine at Nanaimo Where Nearl,
200 Men Perished,

NANAIMo, B. c., May THE latest
investigation shows that 1O1 whites and
seventy-seven Chinese were in the
mine at the time of the explosion, and
the report of the exploring party, which
went into the mine Yesterday and
brought out forty-six bodies. shows
that not one of the imprisoned men
will be rescued alive. The party went
down the main engine plane nearly as
far as the north level, where there were
supposed to be twenty-five white men
at work. They found the mine tim
bers knocked out and the walls caved
in. The after-damp was so dense that
the lamps would not burn, and breath
ing was difficult. The party went into
an air course where they found the bod
les of twenty-three white men and two
Chinese. These were brought to the
surface and the exploring party went
down in the afternoon into No. | mine.
They penetrated nearly into the stall
and found two white bodies. The after
damp overcame two of the rescuing
party and they all returned. An effort
was also made to reach the men in No.
o and two bodies were found, but the
same overpowering after-damp drove
the rescuers out. Only few of the
oodies were bruised or disfigured, the
rest looked as though they had gone
